Nobody wanted her: thrown away like a piece of rubbish, this little stray cat was close to starving to death, when a family from Florida found her in the gutter. It was not a second too soon either. Alone and clearly sick, the kitten sat in a cardboard box. The family didn't need to think about it.

The took the little bundle with them and urgently rushed her to the emergency veterinary to be treated back to health. But Silas' transformation, as the cat is now called, is nothing short of amazing. The family could never have guess what the dirty, nondescript animal would turn into...

As the cat recovered, her beautiful, abundant fur sprang back to life. Fluffy and soft as silk, it formally invites snuggles and cuddles. Thankfully, this is also one of Silas favourite activities too.

This story ended well thanks to Silas' energetic new family. The abandoned kitten has found a great home and you can really see what a difference a little love and care can make. Who would have thought from the first picture that Silas could end up like this?
